Plans for café with roof terrace set inside former Blackpool tram shelter back on track
Proposals to create a cafe inside a former Blackpool tram shelter are back on track after a revised blueprint for the scheme was approved.
Town hall planners said the design would harm the architecture of the locally listed shelter which opened in 1932. Its interior space includes former ticket offices and a waiting room which have been unused for many years. But revised plans which scrapped the atrium and proposed an external staircase instead have now got the green light from the council.
It adds: “It is therefore considered the proposal will conserve and enhance the building by allowing the café business to successfully access the roof terrace and therefore ensuring the building remains in constructive use, whilst also adding to the local economy in terms of employment and supporting the tourism industry.”
